Growth—
Species in this genus generally succeed in a variety of soils, but they prefer deep fertile moderately heavy soils that are humus-rich, moisture-retentive and also well-drained, with a position in full-sun or part shade[1]. Being wind -pollinated, Rumex species usually hybridize readily, especially with other members of the genus they are more closely related to[2].
